We Celebrate Our Past, Our Present,
and Our Future
St. John was founded as The United Evangelical Church of Manchester in January 1860 by our German ancestors. From its early beginnings as a predominantly rural area church, St. John has grown into an open and welcoming church for the suburban West St. Louis County community. We are blessed with financial strength, excellent facilities, and a long tenure of pastors. We look forward to a promising future as we grow individually and collectively in God’s grace.

Our Sunday School, Called "Faith Trek",
Features Something for Every Learning Style
Based on a rotation-style format, Faith Trek gives children the opportunity to learn Bible stories and Christian concepts in non-traditional ways. Whether acting out a story, making a craft, watching a movie (in a real movie theater with popcorn), cooking, or playing computer games, our kids use all the senses and highlight various skills while learning and having fun at church.
